Find the antiderivative of (e^x)(sinx)(x) using integration by parts twice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this suposed to be e^x(sin(x))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}e^xsin(x)dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}udv=uv-\int\limits_{}^{}vdu\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to do integration by pars twice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he said that in his problem itself ... anyways what do you want you u and dv to be, bobobo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ u = \sin(x) \\ dv = e^x dx \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[du=\cos(x)\] \[v=e^x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use this information in the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[uv-\int\limits_{}^{}vdu=e^xsin(x)-\int\limits_{}^{}e^xcos(x)dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now once again you have another integral that you must solve by parts again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[u=\cos(x),dv=e^x\] du=-sin(x)dx \[v=e^x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

using this information use the equation again \[\int\limits_{}^{}e^xsin(x)dx=e^xsin(x)-(e^xcos(x)-\int\limits_{}^{}-e^xsin(x)dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now first pull the negative out of the integral to get \[e^xsin(x)-1(e^xcos(x)+\int\limits_{}^{}e^xsin(x)dx)\] distribute the negative 1 out \[e^xsin(x)-e^xcos^x-\int\limits_{}^{}e^xsin(x)dx\] at this point you can see you are back at your original functions however one is negative and you can add the integral to the other side and combine like integrals \[\int\limits_{}^{}e^xsin(x)dx=e^xsin(x)-e^xcos(x)-\int\limits_{}^{}e^xsin(x)dx\] \[2\int\limits_{}^{}e^xsin(x)dx=e^xsin(x)-e^xcos(x)\] divide by two and you can simplify the top by factoring and e^x out \[\int\limits_{}^{}e^xsin(x)dx=\frac{e^x(\sin(x)-\cos(x))}{2}+c\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Aha! I see it! Thank you very much. Very detailed and great answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah basically with these 2 by parts, you want to get the integrations the same so you can add one to another and then divide by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One question. When you put ∫e^xcos(x)dx into the equation, why did it stay as e^xcos(x)? Why not -e^xsinx?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, I will talk in terms of f' and g'. If youve got the integral of e^xcosx, you will let e^x=f and cosx=g' right? So it should be -e^xsinx right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that would be the second one but cos(x) i made f and e^x = g'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats how when i did the second integration i got -e^x(sin(x))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first time i did it i made sin(x)=f and e^x=g' derivative of sin(x) = cos(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, I see it. Thanks :)
